Answer: The probability that an indigenous person dies in prison  [tex]=\dfrac{1}{171}[/tex]

The probability that a non-indigenous person dies in prison=[tex]\dfrac{42}{14501}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For any event , formula of probability = [tex]\dfrac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}[/tex]

Given: In Australia in 1995, of the 2907 indigenous people in prison 17 of them died.

So, The probability that an indigenous person dies in prison = [tex]\dfrac{17}{2907}[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{1}{171}[/tex]

Also, of the 14501 non-indigenous people in prison 42 of them died .

So, the probability that a non-indigenous person dies in prison=[tex]\dfrac{42}{14501}[/tex]
